Another Call to Prayer {for Truman}

Precious, faith-filled community, will you join me in prayer once again?

My heart breaks for this precious baby boy named Truman and his mama who is pregnant. He and his family are in need of prayer. Truman, who I believe is around 13 months old, had a near drowning accident after falling headlong into a bucket of dirty water.

He has 6 other siblings and there is one more on the way.

You can read all the updates on his mama’s blog.

My cry to God…

There is a world, a hurting world I desire to touch for you. Hungry little bodies that I want to have a part in feeding. Lost souls that I want to have a part in bringing the gospel to. Wounded, sick, bruised and beaten that I want a part in bringing Your healing to. Yet, here I kneel, contrite over how I lacked love today, because surely I acted in a manner not worthy of my call.

Here I pray, and then I receive a message about this baby boy Truman, and suddenly my cares seem so unimportant and my worries so frivolous. I am sobered, awakened, reminded of the broken world You came to save and how truly blessed I am. This hurting world is far reaching from my small world I become a prisoner of — bound by its cares, blind to Yours. Untangle me Lord — so I can run. Free me of these weights so I can carry the burden of Your heart. Your burden is for the broken. You were broken for our brokenness.

I pray that you would heal baby Truman and make him whole. I pray for the family — his parents and his siblings, that you would give them peace and strength during this time filled with so many challenges. I pray that You would heal broken hearts and show up strong on behalf of this family that is Yours. I pray for this mama, who is pregnant, that you would lavish Your love and pour Your grace like rain upon her.

This is the confidence I have in coming before You — if I ask anything according to Your will, You hear me. And if I know You hear me in whatever I ask, then I know that I have the requests which I have asked from You. |1John 5:14|

You have also told me, and I believe You — if even just two of us agree here on earth concerning anything we ask, Your Father in Heaven will do it. |Matthew 18:19|

Today, once again, I offer this place as platform to share of an urgent need to pray for one of Yours. I pray to you, Jesus, that you would take the message of this baby boy in need of a miracle to your faith-filled pray-ers. Raise up intercessors to cry to You on Truman’s behalf.

Please share this need with praying people.

Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on our little world that we forget the needs of others. Thanks for bringing our attention to what we’re truly called to, which is to lay down our lives for others. I pray that Truman will be made whole also.

Roxann,

You share such truth here. I journey with you in this. I too, find myself caught up in my own small world and forget the hurting, lost world Christ came to save.

Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts here… You are a blessing.

Jennifer,

Thank you so much for praying… have you seen the praise reports on his mama’s blog? What an amazing God we serve. Their faith is so inspiring

I had these same feelings this week when I heard testimonies from church planters in urban settings. I was brought to tears by what they sacrifice to share the gosel with the lost. So sorry to hear about this little guy and pray he bounces back, recovers whole.

Jennifer,

Thank you for being so willing to share your place and cultivate community. In all our endeavors in this life, there are so few that will really matter in the end. Stories like this make me realize how precious and fragile life is.. But thankfully we serve a mighty and powerful and strong loving God who is faithful no matter what.

Blessings and true gratitude and love to you…
